Pride and Prejudice

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth is about to leave for Hunsford there are three trunks (1 large, 2 small) visible in the hall. As Elizabeth moves into the study the servant removes the top trunk to take to the carriage. In the next shot of Elizabeth in background only the large trunk remains. In subsequent views of Elizabeth the large trunk remains in view. When Elizabeth farewells her father and leaves the room the servant is seen picking up the second small trunk which has magically reappeared. (00:23:30 - 00:24:10)

Show generally

Character mistake: Mrs. Reynolds, the housekeeper at Pemberley, refers to Mr. Darcy's late mother as Mrs. Darcy while showing Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle the house. This is a grave mistake on the part of the filmmakers as she should have been referred to as Lady Anne, the way her sister is known as Lady Catherine. Their father was an Earl, making them Ladies by birth, not by marriage. Hence, they must be called Lady followed by their first name.

Trivia: Jennifer Ehle who played Lizzie is blonde - she knew Lizzie was to be brunette, so she dyed her eyebrows the night before the dressed audition to give her a better chance of suiting the part. (This is confirmed in the 'making of' book).
